Exceedingly cool! I have the old Corgi model of this car and have always loved it! I wouldn’t mind adding that new model to my collection… I also retain the Corgi version....... The Corgi can't hold a candle to the Autocult in terms of accuracy or detail of course but they got the basics dead right. That’s great!

That is why the silver one is the only option for purchase as the red one is fantasy car (correct colour, completely wrong front end). Glad Matrix is getting all these dream cars in the pipeline!

Well Paulius, I actually prefer it in red but it is of course wrong in that colour. It's not only Matrix doing concepts of course and Autocult have just announced the Ghia Gilda, a model that has inexplicably, to my knowledge, never been modelled before. Looking forward to that one.

Beautiful cars- French blue is the perfect colour for these.

Beautiful cars- French blue is the perfect colour for these. True, but the trouble is I now have too many French cars of this period in 2 tone blue. Next up, something of a mixed bag.... Kess Buick Elektra 225 I've only been collecting US production cars for the past few years, but I would have bought this one even back in the day as its one of my favourite Yank tanks. Something very slightly different.... Suzuki Ignis One of the more interesting modern production cars IMO. I was intrigued when Julio showed his more toy like version some time back and someone mentioned a high-end version was available. High-end is a bit of an overstatement but it's not bad. Kess Dodge Challenger Frua This has been sitting for a while and it's a nice model but I hated the wheels. Finally got around to replacing the Kess ones with a BBR set and it absolutely transforms the model

All three, however different, are great! The Dodge looks nothing like an American car...
The Suzuki has a chance of landing in my collection too- if I can find one, that is.

The Dodge looks nothing like an American car. Dunno..those horrid rear bumper protrusions also graced American RX models of the 70's give it away 😆😆😅😅

Nice models, didn't know there's even two versions of the Suzuki Ignis model. At first glance I thought the Dodge is some Euro car from the 70's, very cool one Love these threads where I learn about cars I didn't know before

Well, like others said, that Dodge does not look like an american car indeed. But that is no suprise at all. Because it is a Frua. And all Frua's from that era looked like any other Frua, just stretched to fit the platform... (Which is not a bad thing, I like that style)

Nice additions! The 1959 Buick is gorgeous! Who makes the Ignis? It’s quite tempting!

And all Frua's from that era looked like any other Frua, just stretched to fit the platform... (Which is not a bad thing, I like that style) Frua were at their peak around this time. Other beauties include the AC 428 and various Maseratis and Monteverdis. In answer to your question Julio, the model appears to be a promo for Suzuki and there doesn't appear to be a maker mentioned on the box, at least in English.
